We will ask them to examine the matter and to notify us of progress. Is that agreed? Agreed.

The next item is No. 747, correspondence from an individual stating that members of the committee act outside their remit when questioning witnesses who appear before it. Members have seen the letter. We will note it.

Next is No. 750, correspondence dated 8 September on behalf of Deputy Fergus O'Dowd, Chairman of the Joint Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport. The joint committee has decided to refer aspects of the Moran report for this committee's consideration, particularly certain audit, accounting and funding issues pertaining to the Olympic Council of Ireland. The Olympic Council of Ireland is not audited by the Comptroller and Auditor General and, therefore, is not within the remit of this committee. However, the Irish Sports Council which provides the funding is. In the first instance, I propose to circulate the report to members and if they wish to raise specific issues to be brought to the attention of the Irish Sports Council, we will write to it. This issue has been dealt with by an Oireachtas committee. Obviously, there are financial matters in the report and the Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport has referred it to us as part of its work. That committee has carried out its work on it. I do not know if we should jump into the topic. That committee has been dealing with it. We will circulate the report to members before we take any further action. We will hold over this item of correspondence to a future meeting. Is that agreed? Agreed.

No. 751 is correspondence from the Department of Health responding to a request for a note on issues raised with the committee by an individual regarding several areas of the health system. The Department has communicated directly with the individual and a copy of the correspondence is enclosed. We note that.

No. 752 is correspondence, dated 31 August, from the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment, Deputy Denis Naughten, responding to issues raised by Monaghan County Council with the committee regarding EirGrid. We will note the correspondence and forward it to Monaghan County Council. Is that agreed? Agreed.

No. 753 relates to an interim report on Stepaside Garda station. This is from Deputy Cullinane and we dealt with it during our earlier conversation.

No. 754 is from an anonymous correspondent regarding Waterford City & County Council. There are a number of accusations, most of them in general terms. I propose that we note the correspondence. We are not getting into that.

We are nearly finished. No. 757, dated 27 July, is correspondence from Deputy Marc MacSharry requesting the committee to examine the costs incurred to date by the liquidators of the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation.
